Awesome pool, beautiful views, great staff, awesome breakfast and restaurant, huge shower.

When we pulled up, we were in absolute awe of this location. Very majestic on a hill top over looking the endless fields for miles and miles. Out of all the hotels we stayed at in Italy, this is one we treasured the most. The ancient walls with a modern convenience were more than we expected. Some reviewers mentioned the dinning being pricy but you truly get what you pay for. Dinner was impeccable with an amazing view so it was very much with it. Book this place, you won’t regret it.

the property itself is absolutely stunning.. amazing location, short drive from Montalcino. The staff are top notch, exactly what you would expect from a luxury resort.

Breakfast buffet was very good. Pools were very nice. Furniture and bedding very old, needs updating

The setting the wonderful staff the food and wine everything made for a wonderful stay

we stayed 3 nights in this lovely place. our room was upgraded to a suite in the castle tower with a wonderful view on every side of the castle . bathing in the outside thermal pools was havenly . the food was amazing , same excellent quality at breakfast , main restaurant , pool restaurant and Michelin star restaurant . The staff were very friendly and helpful with everything , big thanks to the wine waiter from Sicily and the wine maker for the nice lesson in wine making and tasting .we will definitely be back !

Fabolous location nested over a perfect position that dominates Val D'Orcia surroundings. The staff was super kind and accomplished all the requests we had. Rooms are quiet, charming, and modern with a lovely art sense. Olispa is a perfect mix of essential and luxury aligned with the uncontaminated nature of the area. It is definitely a great choice for a romantic and relaxing getaway.

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting! The hotel is located in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by beautiful hills and vineyards. Super quiet room. Comfortable bed and clean sheets.

The setting on top of that hill is magnificent. And so is the hotel - wonderfully renovated. The pools indoor and outdoors invite for long hours of relaxation, gazing over the Tuscan hills and the timeless surroundings only to climb out of the pool for a fabulous meal at the poolside restaurant.

Every part of the hotel is just beautiful, whether it’s the views or the interior decoration. The pool is great, both indoor and outdoor. The staff is very considerate and helpful and made our stay super comfortable. Breakfast is lovely and the location is a dream.
